Our Friends Around the Yankee Blogging World: 2/22/09

(The Voice of Yankees Universe)

  Bob usually does these posts, but I’ll give it a go this week. Here are some of my favorites posts from other Yankees Blogs:

River Ave. Blues writes about how the Yankees passed up the chance to obtain Johnny Damon back in 2002, and instead they signed Rondell White to a two-year, $5-million contract.

Hanks Yankeestalks about what you should tell your kids about A-Rod’s PED use. It’s definitely a difficult thing to talk about, because a lot of these kids look up to Alex. You can teach your kids to learn from his mistake.

Lady At The Bat gives a preview of the 2009 Yankees outfield. She breaks down each player individually and gives her predictions on how they will fair this season.

Jeff over at Sox and Pinstripes gives a detailed analysis of the Red Sox, Rays, & Yankees rotations. These three teams are loaded with pitching. It should make for a very interesting season.

The New Stadium Insider talks about the average fastball velocity of 4 Yankees starters. The Yankees will be bringing the heat this year. When was the last time the Yankees had four legit starters who threw 90mph+ in their rotation? Expect a lot more strikeouts…

Also, Ross mentions that time is running out to apply for a concessions job at the New Yankee Stadium.This isn’t a job I would want, but the idea of being in Yankee Stadium everyday is pretty cool. You probably wouldn’t be able to watch the games though. Haha. If you’re interested, please go check out Legends Hospitality Management.
